when i called the dealer about getting a 2.0 they said they're very hard to locate because they're not being made anymore, so they're not getting any more in. i was told they would hvae to locate one at another dealer because they are not being ordered anymore.

uh hello you are talking about a vehicle they uses all of the same motors the rest of there lineup is already using, and in the same setup. RWD-V10, RWD Hemi and so on. what other car uses the LSJ setup? what other car uses a 2.4 SC? what other FWD car uses teh LSJ/TC? thank you sir, R&D can be very costly

GM is looking to stream line their line up, if there is an ss/sc replacement, i would bet on the Solstice gxp/ Sky redline powerplant.
